Children's clothing sizes?

Question

I would like to buy a few things for a family that's had some bad luck. However, I have never seen the children, only photos of them, and don't know their weights, only their ages. Can those of you who have kids this age give me an idea of what sizes I should get? My kids are grown and I can't remember how children's sizing goes. I'll be buying pull-over hoodies. The boys are ages 6, 10 and almost 13. They look to be of average weight and height. Thank you very much! Oh, and, if you know of small toys or gadgets that boys those ages might like I'd appreciate any input.

Thanks for the response. I can't get a gift receipt because they live 3000 miles from me and couldn't return it. And they are specialty hoodies so not from a national chain. But you've given me something to work with.

Answer 1

when in doubt always go big! my son is almost 6, a 7/8 fits him well. the 10yr old likely will need a 12/14, and the teenager may need a mens small or medium. Remember to get a gift recipt!!!

Answer 2

You cant go by age. I know 8 year old that wear a 10/12 and some that wear a 7/8. I would send gift cards instead.

Answer 3

often a 24 month is for toddlers an prolonged time 18-24 months (approximately). A 2t is for as quickly as the child is two years previous, a newborn. So a 2t is a sprint greater beneficial. that's frequently greater beneficial interior the dimensions because of the fact the child at this age is commencing up to get leaner besides as no longer wanting the diaper anymore, so the dimensions sort of lengthens and thins out a sprint.

Answer 4

kids age is often the size. I recommend buying one size to big. Good for you. As for gadgets. How about those build your own things for the older one. Like a build your own radio. Even for the 10 year old. For the 6 year old...bionicles, lego,marbles,ninja turtles. Its all good
